SEAFORTH, Friday, June 17, 1938 Social Credit Is Not For Saskatchewan The people of Saskatchewan will have nothing to do with a Social Credit form of Government for their Province. That point was definitely and convincingly settled in the gen- eral election of Wednesday of last week. The outstanding feature of that election was the intensive drive made by the Social Credit party, led in person by Premier Aberhart, to capture Saskatchewan. Not only the Premier, but most of his Cabinet participated, but it was all in vain. Out of thirty-nine Social Credit candidates, only two were elected, and they with kmajorities SO small that recounts will follow. In addi- tion, nineteen of the party's candi- dates lost their deposits. It was a crushing defeat, as well as the best news that has come from the -West in quite some time. As we predicted some weeks ago there was nothing said during the campaign aboutthe: twenty-five dollars a month fdr every man, woman and child in the Province. ' That plank which was the bait with which Mr. Aberhart caught Al- berta, and which was the greatest piece of election bribery ever perpe- trated by a political party in Canada or anywhere else, was entirely •omit- ted, ut in its place were others equa y impossible of fulfilment, where they were not actually dis- honest. The Saskatchewan •election shat- ters the dream of Mr. Aberhart for united West, under his leadership, *filch has held ever since his election to power in All,,.?rta, First it was British Columbia which turn- ed a deaf ear t� his blandishments, and then came Saskatchewan with an even more determined refusal The result of the election proves oomething else. It proves that the people of Saskatchewan, in spite of the drought and pestilence that has ridden them for the past seven or eight years, a condition that has left them' in so many eases impover- ished and debt ridden, are still fun- damentally honest. One wonders now 'about Alberta. Will that Province continue to wor- ship at the shrine of Mr. Aberhart and his discredited Social Credit party, or will it, too, follow in the footsteps of Saskatchewan and Bri- tish Columbia? One thing is certain. It will not no be called upon to make an im- mediate' decision. In fact it is now • apparent, if it was not aIwars obvious, that the powers that be in that Province will continue in the saddle as long as the law permits them to do so and even longer if possible. • It Still Goes On Sixteen persons met violent deaths in Canada over the week -end, and some hundreds were more or' less seriously injured on streets and highways. • Of the- deaths, six were killed in motor accidents; seven were drown- ed, and three were killed in other ac- cidents. It is an appalling record and one calculated to leave a deep impression on the public mind. But it , oes not 'seem to. d this is only the beginning of sumnrier. What will it be when the -holiday season really starts, when the people, Old and young, crowd the highways and the watering places ? When schools are closed for the sum - Ater holidays? What will it be? Tha't is 4,tion, which the motorists, the air makers, the children, and '#rents„ will travel -to “seive& it reSts en - 4,1 Relief Lab,or On The Farm There is every irilicatinn at this time that the crops in Huron Coun- ty, at least, 'will reach the bumper stage py7,-harvest time. In no other year hae the prospects been better. Weather has been ideal and growth steady, and there would now appear to be little fear of a June frost. With bumper crops comes the de- mand for farm labor, which has be- come a scarce commodity for some years past. - Not because there are no idle men, but chiefly because these idle men are either physically unfit- ted for farm work, or absolutely re- fuse to perform such work. There are no six and eight hour days on the farm 'during the sum- mer months and the work is men's work. For 'that reason we might say that too many men; who are on relief, seems to have a greater dis- like of such work than they have. of the evil one, or anything else. It should not be that way. And it was not that way until municipal re- lief, Government relief .and every other, kind of relief made the state of idleness more pleasant and profit- able for an able-bodied man than that of darning his own living. But it is that way now. It might not be a bad plan for the Government to take -a census •of the unemployed, classify • it, and then conscript the able-bodied and have them available for the coming har- vest. Adopt the plan of refusing re- lief, present or future, for all who refuse to work. We notice that the Ontario De- partment of Public Welfare is aware of the present shortage of farm labor and with a view of encouraging un- employed on the farms, has issued a set of regulations which it hopes will meet the situation. • However, the farmers will incline to the belief that the Department is a little over optimistic in its regula- tions. For instance, one of these regulations reads: "Where the wag- es are from twenty to one hundred dollars per month, fifty per cent. of the earnings may be retained by all enrployable married men registered for and in receipt of relief, who ac- cept farm work." Perhaps there are some of these • relief workers who are worth twen- ty dollars a month and board. Per- haps there are some who are worth one hundred dollars, with board thrown in. But there is no peitaps about the farmers' side of the ques- tion. He can not pay any such wag- es for unskilled labor, no matter how pressing his- need may be. And if unemployed relief labor is looking for any such wages on the farm, they are looking in vain. There is plenty of work on the farm to take care of the big majority of those now living on relief, but it is work which must be performed at wages within the farmer's means. • • Going Up A Little Farm products have been moving a little, and moving in the right di- rection. It is true that cattle fell off a little last -week, but on the whole cattle have been doing nicely lately. Hogs have reached the ten dollar mark and market reports say that butter and eggs are moving up. With a bumper crop in prospect; with pasture abundant and more young cattle on the grass than we have seen for many a day, wouldn't it be nice for the farmers to harvest all these crops to the tune of rising prices? And wouldn't it be nice for the rest of us, too? That is the good thing about it all. When the farm- ers are prosperous, we all get a piece of that prosperity. • WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY: Recession Delays Treaty. (Kingston Whig-etatr•dard) One factor, whith is said to have increased the difficulties of the negotiations, is the bust - nese receseien In the United States. Th.e change in the general American, bnsiness, picture since the agreements were mooted has brought in- creased pressure by certain American interests against any tariff change. Talk in Congress about the dab:gets of lowering tariff bars has possibly eshbarnassed and its softie degree delay- ed deeiteions and moires by the American negets tlators.

There is some strange atanpsphere that seems to come down over the farm that makes it just about the finest place in the world. 0718 thing eure, the wife veil have something extra by way of a treat for the Sunday dinner. Maybe it's an extra fine piece of ham that she has roasted, with baked potatoes and new carrots . . . and it's a funny thing but a fellow seems to have a better appetite. True, it is that you haven't any work to do, but there's a whole afternoon of solid leisure stretching ahead. I can well remember the first sum- mer that bhe wife and I were here at Lazy Meadows together. Sunday din- ner was a spread, and I weeld don au apron, and hustle her along with drying the dishes. Then she goes up and gets her big sun eitet, and. I'd slip a pouchful of tobacco,hu my pocket, light up my elpet and we'd be off for ator of inspeetion of the hundred acres Back down the laneway that on week days was merely a convenient way of .getting back to the Back Fif- ty, but an Sunday afternoon, it was a glamorous roadway. First of all a stop just behind the barn to examine the garden and the potatoes, and it would make a warm sort of glow in around a fellow's .heart, to see Mrs. Phil looking In such a prideful way at the garden she had helped, to make. • Then strolling back and stopping to look over all the fields, and spend- ing a half hoar in the south pasture looking for wild strawberries.

And then look up at last sort of smiling, when ' even our dreams stirred up soinething that was humorous. And darkness, would be coming sifting down over the countryside, be- fore we even thought of going back up to the house. • Then at last, the flies would get so bad that the reali- ties brought us ,hack to our' senses the laneway to the and we would link our arms together ' and go back up But the feelin!g of the afternoon would linger on. Even after the ev- ening chores were done, the dishes readied up and we were just sitting looking out the screen door, where the .outside blackness hemmed in the light, the Sunday afternoon atmos- phere would linger on. There was and always has been to me here on the farm, a pleasure in Sunday afternoons. Certainly, if there can be such a. thing as the hand of the All -Powerful One in our world's affairs, it is reflected in giv- ing us here at Lazy Meadows .one completeful restful day. • WIENEMENEERIESSERI • JUST A SMILE OR TWO • • "Madam, could you give a hungry' fellow something to eat?"

Boyle) Have you ever stopped to 'consider who is responsible for bringing you the news? Not the foreign news of Russia and Europe, Mussolini or Hit- ler—but the men or women who are responsible for the news inthis paper or the dailies. It's the kind of news that you like to read, because it eon- cerns people just like yourself. It's the "to home" news. We all have a conception of what a city reporter is like. Our informa- tion may have been by actual experi- ence, or it may have beep from mov- ies or magazines. You may picture him as a "liquor-guzzlin " genius who has but to take one look at a scene and then sit down at a typewriter and spill forth magic, glowing words. I know him as a hard-working individ- ual, keenly interested in his job with a wife and family at home. He's not the ran I'm talking about. Today both rural and metropolitan newspapers are depending more and more on country correspondents for news tips. From out of that portion oe the country called the i'stickse by city people, there have come' stories that have both shocked and thrilled the world,. A train wreck . . . a bush fire . . the story of the quin- tuplets carne from a hitherto un- known portion of the Province • . . the story of the Masse children clos- er to home.

Oorresporedents, except the ones who are on staff positions' and employed at a wage, for the most part are paid for what allpears in the newspaper, on what is called a space rate. It's so ranch per column printed. In fact, it's a case of the mere news he ob- tains the more he makes. We'll take the caseet Steve Foster. He is title oorrespondent in a small town of two thousand population. Nothing very startling ever happens, with the exception of an eccasional fire, and on occasions a local young man getting himself illuminated with fire -water and proceeding to land in the local "calaboose." With the pro- per and correct information, Steve sends the story in to his paper. The editor sees a chance for a really good item, injects a word or two of humor and captions it with a prominent hemline. Nine -tenths of the people of the small towns chuckle to themselves', but the other one-tenth glower be- cause they happen to be relatives of the dissipating youth. They just can't s,ee why their erring relative should be fodder for the mill of news. Then Steve has trouble with the Ladies' Aid.
